What Is Your Real Star Sign?
By constructing a model of the constellations in the zodiac, students can learn about the relative motion of the Sun and the Earth. Students can find their own star sign and discover how the view from the Earth will change as the Earth orbits the Sun. The model allows them to see how the night sky changes over a year and how the Earth must be spinning to see the Sun rise in the East and set in the West.
